TAG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,555, dated May 13, 1884.

Application filed March 14, 1884. (So model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, OSCAR J. Conn, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Pin-Tag and Fastener, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my new and improved pin-tag. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same, taken on the line :0 m, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the fastener.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the paper or card, and B represents the fastener, which is formed of asingle piece of wire pointed at its extremities and bent to form the penetrating-arms a a and the right-angled rests or loops 5 b, in which the card or paper A rests, as shown in Fig. 2, the U-shaped face 0 being bent slightly toward the ends of the arms a, so as to exert a spring action upon the card A when the fastener B is in place in the card A, thus preventing all danger of the card becoming detached from the fastener B.

In uniting the card A and fastener B the arms a a are simply forced through the card and the card worked along upon the arms a into the loops 1) b, where it will be clasped by the spring action of the face portion 0. The card A being held in the loops b b, which support it at the back, no difficulty will be experienced in forcing the penetrating-arms a through goods for attachment of the tag, since the card A is securely held by the loops from sliding along upon the arms a a when pressure is applied to the face of the card for forcing the arms a through the goods. Besides this advantage, the pin-tag is cheap, practical, and durable.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. As an improved article of manufacture, the tagfastener B, formed with the penetratingarms a, the right-angled loops 1), and the face portion 0, the said face portion being bent slightly toward the ends of the arms, as set forth.
